2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · MX10 PZP

The most recent MOT test on 10 October 2025 resulted in a pass at 112,900 miles, though the history reveals significant underlying concerns. A failure record from the same day highlights that the nearside front road wheel is slightly distorted and both front tyres are worn close to the legal limit. The offside rear tyre is also reported as out of shape. While the mirror defect noted in the failure record is absent from the pass record, the tyre and wheel conditions suggest ongoing maintenance issues rather than a single incident. Looking back to October 2024, the vehicle passed with advisories for corrosion affecting the nearside and offside rear coil springs, the offside front suspension arm, and the front subframe. Although these specific corrosion items do not appear in the 2025 pass summary, their presence indicates structural vulnerability typical of a sixteen-year-old vehicle exposed to the elements. The condition trend appears mixed, with suspension integrity being a long-term concern while tyre wear remains a recurring immediate hazard. The recorded mileage of 112,900 miles over sixteen years equates to approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is typical for this age of car. This usage level does not suggest extreme hard use, yet the consistent tyre wear and visible corrosion point to regular driving in conditions that promote rust or potential periods where the vehicle may have stood for extended times. The combination of average mileage with advanced corrosion suggests environmental factors rather than high mileage wear alone are impacting the chassis.
